I havnt read all 75pages to see what everyone is saying but I'll give you my experience with the clunk. I have a 2013 FX2 Supercrew which has a 2 piece driveshaft.
Driving off the dealers lot I felt it but didn't think anything about it. Then read on another forum that people had issues with it and Ford had a TSB for the issue. Brought it in and they greased it. Couple months later it came back. Brought it in again and they greased it but made a comment that Ford changed the grease to a higher temp grease because trucks in the south where having issues even after greasing it. Couple months later it came back. Brought it in again and they greased it. Couple months later it came back and they designed to change the entire driveshaft, well what do you know, it came back again. This time I brought it to a different dealer. That dealer said they find that the kit that Ford supplies to make the repair the techs weren't putting the entire tube of grease in the spline. I thought they were full of shit but it's been almost 2 years and it never came back since. Shortly after having the different dealer grease it I did install traction bars also so idk if the entire tube of grease was a permenate fix or the traction bars fixed it, all I know is I havnt had the clunk in 2 years!
